Tídwald speaking to Totta:

Hey! Rattle and bump over rut and boulder!
The roads are rough and rest is short
for English Men in Aethelred's day.

Excellent once again, Guinevere! And correct, of course. Pray proceed.

Thank you, Esty. :)

"--------/, ---/ -----/ ----/ --/; ---/ -/ -----/ -----/, ----/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----/ --/ --/- ."

T please - as in "T"raditional opening letter...

"--------/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; --t/ -/ -----/ -----/, ----/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t----/ --/ -t/ ."

The predictable S next, please.

T , S (but we has only one! :( )

"--------/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; --t/ -/ s----/ -----/, ----/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t----/ --/ -t/ ."

Hmmm, let's try R then.

TSR

"---r----/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; --t/ -/ s----/ -r---/, ----/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t----/ --/ -t/ ."

N, perhaps? (This looks to be a tough one!)

TSRN

"---r--n-/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; --t/ -/ s----/ -r---/, ---n/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t--n-/ --/ -t/ ."

To B - or not?

TSRN B

"---r--n-/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; b-t/ -/ s----/ -r---/, ---n/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t--n-/ --/ -t/ ."

How about D?

TSRNB D

"---r--n-/, ---/ ----t/ ----/ -t/; b-t/ -/ s----/ dr---/, ---n/ ---/ ----/ t-/ t--n-/ --/ -t/ ."

L please (I'm still puzzled!)

"h's?

TSRNBD H and L ( good choice!)

"-l-r--n-/, ---/ ---ht/ --ll/ -t/; b-t/ -/ s-ll-/ dr---/, -h-n/ ---/ ----/ t-/ th-n-/ --/ -t/ ."

Definitely time for a vowel - how about A, please?

TSRNBDHL A

"Alar--n-/, ---/ ---ht/ -all/ -t/; b-t/ a/ s-ll-/ dr-a-/, -h-n/ ---/ ----/ t-/ th-n-/ --/ -t/ ."

"m"s?

Finally! When I had the first word, the rest was not hard to find.
Nokes, speaking to anyone who would listen about his encounter with the King of Faery in Smith of Wootton Major.

Yes, that's it! :)

Here's a good reminder for us forum members: (_ = -)

You'd forgotten Barrow-wight dwelling in the old mound
up there on hill-top with the ring of stones round.

The Barrow-wight to Tom Bombadil .

(You have used that quote before, Esty , in July, to be precise. :D )

You're right on both counts! Must be some mysterious influence trying to repeat a message - or it's just my forgetfulness... Go ahead with a new one!

:) I think I remember the quotes I found out better than the ones I posted...
How long can we go on before we run out of suitable quotes, I wonder?

"-----/ ---/ -----/, ----/!" (....) "--'--/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --/ ---/ -------/."

We may have to change the rules and use normal sentences instead of direct speech quotes; there are works that have no direct speech at all - several of the Tom Bombadil poems, for example.

And now for something completely different...

W, please!

"-----/ ---/ w----/, ----/!" (....) "W-'--/ ----/ ---/ ---/ w---/ --/ ---/ -------/."

R 2 (without D2) please.
